Training

I strongly believe that the answer to ignorance is education. I also believe that everyone has the right and the responsibility to defend themselves. The easiest and best way to do that for the average citizen is with firearms. Therefore, I have decided to offer my personal time, experience, and weapons, to first time shooters. I love to teach people how to shoot and have a lot of experience doing so. I am not trying to sell you anything, just promote a lifestyle. The more competent and armed Americans that are out there, the better for everyone.

If you have never fired a gun before, I will train you in safe weapons handling and introductory shooting, just the basics. I will find us a range and provide the guns; rifle, shotgun or pistol, your choice. You pay the range fees (if any) and for the ammo. I want to meet with you first to talk about your training objectives and get a sense of you as a person. I will also be happy to discuss my qualifications in person. If you are not of legal age to own firearms, if you strike me as a gang member or criminal, or if I just get a funny feeling, I will politely decline to work with you. Conversely, if you do not care for me, then we do not have to work together and I will direct you to other instructors.

Wanting to try firearms without a long term or large monetary commitment is absolutely a valid reason for contacting me. If you just want to see what the fuss is all about, come on out. If you already know that you want a gun but are unsure of what kind, I will be happy to help you with that too. Bring a friend, bring your kids, come as a couple, make it a date, whatever makes you comfortable. If you are a teacher, a woman, disabled, or elderly, I will consider additional training if you are interested. The same goes if you are a police officer that may need some help with your shooting. If you are a soldier getting ready to deploy and you need a tune-up with either pistol or rifle I would be happy to help.

I am in the Colorado Springs area and can be contacted on the email attached to the blog or in the comments section.
